SB941

West Virginia SB941 makes agreements prohibiting disclosure of sexual abuse information unenforceable.

West Virginia SB941 declares that any agreements prohibiting the disclosure of information related to acts of sexual abuse are void and unenforceable. This includes agreements that make confidential the amount of compensation paid to resolve a claim or personal identifying information of a victim. The bill aims to protect survivors' rights to speak freely and maintain privacy while ensuring that perpetrators are not shielded. The prohibition applies to agreements entered into before, on, or after the effective date of the bill.
